The fact that James Cameron's James Cameron's Avatar by James Cameron is frequently described as the most anticipated film of 2009 is pretty depressing, as it's probably true. It looks dumb. I guess I'm just a little tired of the moral: 'Be kind to nature (because it has bioluminescence or you can have sex with it).'
Not even that. We all know to be nice to nature by now. We also all know that subjugating a primitive alien race with massively superior technology is a bit of a dick move. I think we've outgrown these parables.
Also, the Na'vi aren't even aliens - they're clearly just stereotypical African tribespeople coloured blue. And the story is Pocahontas. And if the conflict between the Na'vi and the humans isn't resolved through the love between Jake Sully and Neytiri then the world has become a strange and unknown place to me.
TBH I'd rather just watch a group of Draenei roleplaying in Zangarmarsh for an hour, or FernGully: the Last Rainforest.
